Fuente Fuente OpusX Collection
The biggest thing that S.T. Dupont showed off in the booth this year was their Fuente Fuente OpusX collaboration with Arturo Fuente. Last year, the company made a huge splash with the Padron 60th Anniversary collection. Carlito Fuente, Cynthia Fuente, Alain Crevet and Les Mann were in the booth for this grand unveiling and it is sure to be the next big collection set for the diehard Fuente collectors.
There are multiple color variations of Ligne 2, Le Grand, Biggy, Defi Extreme and cigar rest cutters in addition to ash trays and cigar cases. In the Haute Collection, a solid bronze “Where is Carlito” bobblehead (yes the head does bobble) was also shown and comes with the Haute Couture OpusX lighter that is made to sit in the base of the bobblehead.
